Important information in case of a ‘No Deal Brexit’.

HM Passport Office advises
the rules for travel to most countries in Europe will change if the UK leaves the European Union (EU) with no deal.
 
“The government has increased planning for a no deal EU Exit and is asking citizens to make sure they are also prepared.
 
“UK passport holders should therefore check their passport to see whether it is valid for travel after 29 March 2019.
 
“After 29 March 2019:
 
1. You should have 6 months left on your UK passport from your date of arrival. This applies to adult and child passports.
 
2. If you renewed a passport before it expired, extra months may have been added to your new passport’s expiry date. Any extra months on your passport over 10 years may not count towards the 6 months that should be remaining for travel to most countries in Europe. The new rules will apply to passports issued by the UK, Gibraltar, Guernsey, the Isle of Man and Jersey.
 
“Currently, UK passport holders can travel to all EU countries as long as they have enough remaining validity to cover the length of their stay, so it’s important to be aware of the above changes in a ‘no deal’ Brexit.”
